New Delhi, May 19

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has again directed WhataApp to withdraw its much controversial revised privacy policy and has warned of action against the platform.

According to official sources, in its notice to the company, the ministry said there were various options available for the messaging platform under the Indian law. The government has told WhatsApp to respond by May 25.

The ministry said it was irresponsible for the platform to leverage its position in Indian market to impose unfair conditions. — IANS
